Tourism You’ve
Never Heard of​

2. People find different
reasons to travel; most
go on a trip to relax,
have an adventure or
explore a new country.
But some people find
weird and wonderful
motivation for travel.

3. Check out these
interesting types of
tourism for people
that want to do
things a little
differently.

4. SAGITTATOURISM
If you want to be a Sagittatourist simply
throw a dart at a map and see where it
lands — that’s your travel destination. You
could do the same thing with a street map
in your chosen travel destination. Point
blindly (or throw a dart) at the city map and
that is your destination for the day.

5. Monopolytourism
Tourists travel to their destination and buy a
local version of Monopoly. Then, they visit the
places on the Monopoly board. To decide
where to visit first the Monopoly tourists roll
the dice!

6. EROTOURISM
Named after the Greek god of love — Eros,
erotourism is when two people travel
separately to the same city then spend their
vacation trying to find each other as they
explore the city.

7. ALPHATOURISM
With alphatourism you arrive at your
destination and take out your map; then turn
to the index and find the first and last streets
listed alphabetically. You draw a line on your
map from the first street to the last and then
set out to walk between the two exploring
anything you come across along the way.

8. AEROTOURISM
Ever wanted to fly somewhere but you didn’t
have the time or money? Well aerotourism is a
good option! Aerotourists go to an airport and
explore it from top to bottom without actually
getting on a plane.

9. ATOMIC TOURISM
Visit sites associated with atomic history, such
as missile sites. One of the destinations for
atomic tourism is the Nevada Test Site in
Nevada, another is the Chernobyl Exclusion
Zone. Visit the ghost city of Pripyat in the
Ukraine; Hiroshima and atomic museums
including the Hanford Site in Washington, the
X-10 Graphite Reactor in Tennessee and the
Obnibsk Nuclear Power Plant in Russia.

10. NARCO TOURISM
Take a tour of sites associated with the
infamous Colombian drug baron, Pablo
Escobar in Medellin, Colombia. Even without
the Escobar connection, this is a stunning city
but since the T.V. series Narcos, Medellin has
been a popular narcotourism destination. The
drug kingpin’s empire collapse in 1993 when
Escobar’s net worth was $2 billion. Tourist can
take a Pablo Escobar tour; see his grave at
Montesacro Cemetary; see narco memorabilia;
Pablo’s former home and visit the Museo Casa
de la Memoria.

11. TOMBSTONE
TOURISM
Travelers interested in tombstone tourism visit
famous graveyards and burial sites across the
globe. Also known as cemetery tourists, these
morbid trippers visit cemeteries, do gravestone
rubbings, stop at death camps and graves of
the rich and famous. Popular tombstone
tourism sites include La Recoleta Cemetery in
Buenos Aires and Pere Lachaise Cemetery in
Paris, France.
